TL;DR
The authors have incorporated data obtained by other Japanese investigators, whenever such data were accompanied by sufficient and reliable information relative to patients and their parents and sibs, and it has enabled them to deduce some genetic conclusions from its study.

It is concluded that central nervous system defects can be produced in the fetus by atomic bomb radiation, provided that exposure occurs within approximately 1200 meters of the hypocenter and that no effective shielding, such as concrete, protects the fetus from direct irradiation.

Among 16 institutional patients with congenital malformations resembling the postrubella syndrome, a history of maternal rubella was found in 7 cases and a severe common cold within the first three months of gestation was the causative factor in 5 cases.

An important corollary of Mendel's principle of segregation was noted by Weinberg' and by Hardy in 1908, which formed the basis for the development of the population genetics of cross-fertilizing animals and plants and has been particularly fruitful in studies of human genetics.
